Well, I have forgiven you because we are all humans and always committed sins to our Creator but on one condition! Can you boldly tell Nigerians you will call our players on merits and be careful on your sections and no more mafia? Based on what you have said now Mr. Keshi, apology accepted. God bless Nigeria!

If Keshi is back it shows that sanity can prevail in Nigerian football. I restate as I have on several occasions - KESHI IS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL COACH EVER IN FOOTBALL HISTORY IN NIGERIA!!! Afcon Winner (1st time of asking unlike Westerhoff who took 1992, 3 and 4). 2nd round of World Cup, same as Westerhoff. Qualified for CHAN and came 3rd (Nigeria did not qualify on previous 2 attempts.
I am sorry to say it, those who wanted and still want Keshi out do not mean well for Nigerian football. You do not use a qualifying series not completed to judge performance. All Nigeria has to do is qualify, even as best 3rd placed team! Can you all hear? The tournament is a different ball game.
Finally in terms of players, Keshi has given most players a fair chance: Uche played at Afcon 2013 and was poor; Martins was tried in 2 friendly matches and was dropped when he played poorly in second match and others played better; Ihenacho he was determined to take to CHAN but the young pulled out. We all now realise how Keshi operates. Discipline, team above individuals, and commitment. Let me add that in assessing the prospects of the African teams, Nigeria was described uniquely as the one team that performs above the ability of individuals. Ivory Coast was the opposite, Cameroun was also described as under-achievers. Ghana did not under-perform but also did not over-perform like Keshi's Eagles. Commentators should think of Nigeria and not any individual.

If the NFF try to hiring a white coach, it means that they know nothing about what they are doing and they will failed woefully to delivered. We needed an indigenous coach not white. NFF want to earn money based on foreign coach. Many of these white coaches know nothing about African football. People wake up please. God bless Nigeria!

This was a good move. Keshi is a good coach, don't get me wrong. However,, we needed a strong coach with impressive tactical and strategy plays. Nobody should hate Keshi because he did a good job. So let's praise and thank him how far he has taken Nigeria. I would suggest Tata martino, the guy with Iran world cup team, Big Phil or ? But please don't give it to Siasia

The new NFF told reporters that his working team will not be stampede into taking a decision to sack Keshi. Really? How come you were consulting every dick, tom and harry before deciding on what to do. When has hiring and sacking of a football coach become an issue for politicians? Must politics be allowed to dominate every sphere of Nigeria society?
What is the wisdom in removing a coach when he has just two more matches to play in the qualifying series? What magic wand will Amodu wield that will suddenly change the team's fortune? What about issue of loyalty among the players? Will they immediately play their hearts out to let another coach reap the labors of their previous coach who has given them exposure? This is a national team, and not a professional club where the players are earning big money to play. In the national team, sentiment, loyalty and patriotism are the driving forces. I think we have just created a complex problem after solving a simple one for that matter.

Congratulations to Eagles and all Nigerians. Reality time. It's time to let go of Keshi. Enough is enough, Keshi's team can't beat Congo and South Africa team. This is not our real Eagles. NFF must get a sound coach for Eagles this month but we don't need a white coach. If not, bye bye to Morocco 2015. The truth is bitter. God bless Nigeria!

What do you expect from Ego coach? NFF, it's time to give Olishe or another coach a chance. Sudan? This is embarrassing. Even, Lesotho or Eritrea will beat Keshi's Eagles. The era of Keshi's Eagles have finished today. Afcon 2013 is gone, this is 2014. It's a bitter truth we Nigerians failed to realized and I won't be deceived by that. The time have tell now. God bless Nigeria!

Please Oga Keshi, if you don't have anything to say, leave Ik Uche alone. Ik Uche is far matured than you. You want to spoiled ik Uche name, no way. You spoiled Mba career. I bet you, God will surprised you on Mba. Why you did invited Ogu, Mba and co? I know your tricks. NFF should make a change as soon as possible if truly they want Eagles to rule the world. I don't expect much from Keshi though. God bless Nigeria!

Keshi is not a good leader we can tell by now but I don't know why we Nigerians hate to face the truth. Don't be deceived by Afcon that Keshi won in South Africa. He have nothing to prove to anyone. So, you and Oga Keshi wan't every players to say yes sir for Keshi before he can call them? It's not done that way. To back up my points, how many coaches have ever complained about Ike Uche before Keshi? For this reason, Uche will never apologize to Keshi but call him on merit. We know the truth but we will never say it. Keshi had issues with Taye Taiwo, Osaze, Yobo, Aruna Lukman, Mba of people and now Ik Uche aka Gari Master. Keshi can't forgive and forget while he can't manage the team period. We need a sound coach. A word is enough for the wise. God bless Nigeria!

We Ethiopians know our place after we have lost the matches in Brazil. DIVISION 4 .
Let us not strive to achieve what is not possible in the near future.
Let us concentrate in long distance RUN .
Feel sorry for the eth foot ball.

Are u 4 real? Just cos he won the u17 world cup which the world don\'t even take as a serious competition. Why not wait for his performance at the u20 version then the Olympics before you think of this. Manu Garba? *scoffs*

... and of course, you know they ae waisting their time right? Especially when the asking price is £25 million, and it was reported that between £18-20 million was offered for him only a month ago or so but the top clubs! £15 million? Don't be daft!
A Jack.

It's only in Nigeria that a big-time failure boasts. If Nigeria is not a full-time corrupted country, to be honest, Keshi has no business with Super Eagles. He's simply an inter-house-sports coach with poor attitudes and lack managerial skills. Someone who made #favoritism a priority. Idiot. ..The'Victor; I Remain.

Good day to you all my fellow Nigeria football fans and the fans of our national teams. We are on the match again. Please in the name of God I beg all of you to pray and beg God to save our football from this crisis caused by this politicians coming in again to hijack our football. Everyone know our late presidents general sani abacha when he had issues with Mandela he asked our national teams not to go for the national cup after we qualified and CAF suspended us for two years and the same politicians came in then and hijacked our national team after the chief coach then Ahmadu and Steven Keshi assembled a good squad lead by Sunday Oliseh as the captain. They qualified us for the World Cup and won bronze medal in the nations cup in 2002. After all this on our way to Korea Japan, the politicians disbanded the teams, removed the coaches that qualified us and put chief festus onibuende and his coaching crew to assemble another team and warned him not to invite our former players. Out of the people who qualified us it was only tarribo west and Jay Jay and our goal keeper ikeshoromi that came to the camp because of the passion they had for Nigeria. You all fans know the result we came out with in that World Cup. that was 1 of our worst appearance also the same people are trying to come back now by buying election forms to come back to the board of NFF. On my adivce any board member off NFF that was a member in the Korea Japan 2002 World Cup is like a poison to our football and should not be allowed to come into Nigeria football and also all the board member in 2010 World Cup that led us to the worst World Cup in South Africa which would had been the best World Cup for Nigeria should not be allowed to come back. Any person that voted for any of this stated board members is voting for downfalls and setbacks in Nigeria football unless anyone that after the 2002 and 2010 World Cup exelled in the football management which I dint see any of them, it's only the current impeached NFF president maigari that led us to win the African nations cup and under 17 World Cup also led us to make a serious impact in the resent World Cup and his impeachment is like a queue plotted by some failure board members that sponsored Korea Japan 2002 World Cup and failure members that sponsored the South Africa 2010 World Cup. If you can see the history of football in this country and Africa their is no FA president that used what we have at home our infigineous coaches and performed wonders. Aminu maigari and our chief coach Steven Keshi and his assisitant Daniel omokachi their achievement in Africa stands clear and their is no board member in Africa that used 100% indigenous coaches and have the record they have. So all the people buying forms now should please allow the winning team to continue. As a stake holder in football and also a players license agent for many years, for over ten years now people should check our players transfer our players are not marketable before it is now that our coach Steven Keshi and Daniel omokachi are working had to put us where we where before led by our NFF president maigari they are working had to get back to our football rating in FIFA then in 1994 we where 5th in FIFAs ranking When our players where playing in big clubs like Barcelona, juventus, and we where ahead of many other countries in Africa and in the world. Now you can see what is happening, how can somebody just wake up and say he wants to be a board member in our football. I dont know why someone who says he likes football who has been part of the failure board members of 2002 Korea Japan World Cup and 2010 South Africa World Cup should pick form we should know he is coming to put us back and create set backs. Some of The people that are picking forms what have they achieved? Please people should not allow the politicians to pick forms again. 2015 is coming they should go and get forms for local government chairman and they should allow the winning team to perform without distraction. Aminu maigari should come back. I have not seen any NFF president that got us a good result like aminu maigari after late air commander Samson emeka omeruwa of blessed memory. As we all know football is oil boom of poor people. God has used it to bless poor people and allowed our youths not to do yahoo yahoo or BOKO haram. Check the background of most of our star players, they all came from a poor home. The people picking forms are doing it because of the big money coming in from FIFA sponsors and government support. I don't know why ex players are not picking forms. People should shine their eye and the failure members of 2002 and 2010 world cups should not near the NFF side. Lastly please the congress should make sure they return Alhaji aminu maigari and our coaches Steven Keshi Daniel omokachi and the members of their teams. Let's support aminu maigari, Steven Keshi and Daniel omokachi so that they can continue the good work they started and lift our football higher than it was now. Please give them support for more 4years let's see where our football is going to be, we the football players agent are the ones suffering for all this football crisis and losing our investments we invest on the players in the sense that we use our money to take players out for trials to get them clubs in Europe and It is not going to be possible if bad management inmerge in our football that is why I am crying out to you all our stake holders and all our football fans. I pray God will see us through and put our football in a greater height in Jesus name Amen.

Paul Bassey is WRONG on two fronts. First, exactly what went on in Brazil? NIGERIA EQUALLED ITS BEST EVER PERFORMANCE AT THE WORLD CUP - ROUND 2 QUALIFICATION!!! Bassey, focus on the result . Second, the NFF must give the national team coach an INCREMENT for results - 1st at Afcon (3rd time ever and 1st time since 1994) and 2nd round at WC (3rd time ever and 1st since 1998) and also pay a MARKET COMPETITIVE RATE compared to other nations. If the NFF cannot afford it, the organisation should REDUCE wastage - too many persons on technical committee holding numerous meetings on what only God knows what, endless foreign trips for groups of football officials, money going missing and no explanations offered or recoveries made etc. The list is endless. Then the NFF should get people who can package the teams to make money from matches, endorsements, sale of kits etc. These guys have not proven they know what to do.
One last point, the technical committee has not shown any technical knowledge of the game or ability to read and understand the rules of tournaments. The last match Nigeria played against Guinea to qualify for Afcon 2012, it would have gone thru with a one goal margin. Nigeria was leading 2-1 and the whole team believed it needed to win by 2 goals and in pushing for that goal conceded a late equalizer. The technical committee should have read and ensured it understood the rules. South Africa made the same error but their FA had the decency and strength of character to apologise for the error. The NFF has not apologised until tomorrow. Let the technical committee and the whole of the NFF apologise for the error. Let a (scaled down) technical committee focus on its job. It is NOR RESPONSIBLE FOR PLAYER SELECTION OR TACTICS. THE COACH, KESHI, IS!!!!!

Actually, the asking price is £25m and not as most of the media suggest. Bony is happy at Swansea and the club and fans love having him here! Some media have report that Bony can't wait to join Liverpool, but this is not so. In an interview at the end of last season Bony said, "When I get be from the World Cup, I expect to be a Swansea City player!" He also has 3 full years on his contract yet to run, and Swansea are in no rush to sell him, because they are one of the view few club's who bank balance is healthy in the Black! He's a great player and we wish to keep him.

If keshi felt he will rely on the help of his kinsmen to save a job his has never been qualified to handle he will only be a worst dream. Keshi your game is up. NFF, do not repeat the error of hiring a local manager again. They are fill with sentiment of ethnicity and bribery. Be warned

Part of the reason Nigeria did not go beyond the group of 16 in the world cup is that the majority of the players were fringe players in their clubs and did not get enough playing time during the reason.
A lot of the players who play for countries that got to the quarter final, semi final and final of the world cup play for teams at the middle of the EPL and so play week in week out.
Infact there nothing wrong in playing in the championship to play for the national team. One of the best players in the Super Eagles played in the Championship!!
So it is okay to play for a big club provided you can get playing time thereby improving your game.
Practice makes perfect!

Good riddance! Vahid is terrible coach and a terrible person. The credit for the Algerian team success in this World Cup should go to the players, staff and the Algerian Football Federation. This coach was on his way to repeating the same disastrous scenario as during last African Cup (2013) until the players and the Federation stopped him in time after the Belgium game. Ivory Coast did the right thing getting rid of him 4 years ago.
Long Live African Football!

All these people breaking their heads because of unverified reports. In the end, we're only trying to look for a scapegoat to hang our defeat to France on. It is time to take our lessons home, go back and restructure. We already have a team, all we need is more of technical input, replacing the tired legs and making the entire squad more competitive!!!

It is wrong for Mikel to do that. And l think the technical crew got it wrong by accepting Mikel request. Gabriel and Mikel performance in that match was zero. Ramon Azeez would have performed better than Gabriel.

Mr. President, the truth is that the boys played very well, but the referees and other officials were responsible for their not advancing. This nonsense should not be called "World Cup" since there were predetermined efforts to not allow any African team to advance, no matter what. If they had their ways, they would have eliminated all teams from Africa in the first round.

Could Nigeria ever get a better coach than Keshi? The answer is absolute NO. Coach Keshi is the best thing that has ever happened to Nigeria. He did not lose the game against France; the referee, Mr. Geiger, a WHITE MAN, did.

Sad to hear of the death of the younger Toure brother. Condolences to Kolo and Yaya. However, 80% of my fellow Manchester City
fans do not wish to see Yaya ever pull on a City shirt again. His ridiculous comments attacking his own club for only 2 birthday cakes and now, implying that City kept him from being with his dying brother (when he also admits he NEVER reqested any compassionate leave time) have destroyed his relationship with the fans, and maybe the ownership.
At 220K pounds a week, he is very well paid, has a multiyear deal, and yet he and his agent simply cannot stop making attacks against Man City in the press. If he wanted leave, he should have requested it, as he would have received it. In the past, City have granted
compassionate leave to Tevez (after daughter almost lost fingers in an accident), Zabaleta (father in car wreck), Adebayor (after ANC terrorist group bus attack) and Mancini (dying father). Minimum of three weeks.

Mr Alao, nice write up but I strongly disagree that a foreign coach is the solution to the so called technical problems u think cost the team glory. Foreign coaches bring nothing to African teams, instead they just take and take. Give some of our trained ex-internationals who have seen it all playing the game at the highest level in foreign leagues, half what these foreign coaches get and see what will become of our team. So easy to think these white coaches have the answer but u are wrong in my opinion. How many have we had in Nigeria and what have they achieved, of course apart from westerhof.

What is Mikel Obi doing in Keshi's list. Gone are the days when Westerhof could form a team without "being influenced" by bribes and affluence. Gone are the days when super eagles were SUPER. Regrettable.....

Money is killing the local leagues. Even our Cadet players, the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria have not escaped the allure of the Euro € and £. Ihenacho was barely out of his footballing diapers when he was already being traded on the "stock exchange" of international football. Established players have one style for their clubs (furious determination) and another style for country ( lackadaisical injury avoidance style). Money may have made football more attractive, but the original free flowing fun may now be history.

Shehu! You are a brilliant footballer. I watched you at the CHAN. You have a wonderful future ahead of you. Don't rush into any deal. Don't rush into a slave contract! Remember what happened to Julius Aghahowa in Ukraine. Look before you jump please!

Fasting takes enormous physical toll on an average person, not to mention how it will affect someone who is involved in a rigorous exercise like competitive soccer.
I respect every one's religion, but I hate it when people lose common sense because of religion.
I hope that Coach Keshi will do the right thing here, and make his Muslim players choose between competitive soccer or fasting. You cannot opt to go without wholesome nourishment and play soccer at the same time!

Thanks for the post about World Cup. Just a tip about those who don't live in countries that stream world cup online. You can use UnoTelly to remove the geoblock and stream World Cup 2014 in your country free worldcup.unotelly.com

Ghana has not had an excellent world cup. A loss and a draw cant be considered excellent. Entertainment belongs to friendlies and serious teams play even rough to avhieve their target. Losing to US is not a pride for Africa. By the way, Cameroon achieved the same result with the Germans.
How come you didnt read the contract before accepting the terms stated in its content.

Nigerian fans are pathetic! Personal attacks on Keshi and rain of curses were pouring on the poor man just because of a match that he did not lose. Shameful.
But Keshi equally shares the blame. During a tournament of this magnitude, reduce your visits to news media especially online fan zones.

Are u 4 real? Just cos he won the u17 world cup which the world don\'t even take as a serious competition. Why not wait for his performance at the u20 version then the Olympics before you think of this. Manu Garba? *scoffs*

NFF the most successfull. Really? Waiting up to the last minute to negociate the appearance fees? Interrupting the mental state of the players during a high level tournament? Not paying the salary of the coach for 8 months? Not officially selling the players that their allowances have been reduced during confedaration cup? Na wa ooo :-)

The Eagles were very poor. The team was not mobile. Keshi played only one upfront without support against a team that was playing 4-1-4-1. The only creative player he had, Moses he removed. It was obvious that Azeez was not creative. All he should have done to was to remove Musa for Osaze and remove Azeez for either Uchebo to allow Emenike play or worse still bring Shola as he did. Keshi has embarrassed himself for his tactical blunders today. Eagles played today like a team without a coach. The worst Eagles performance ever in a world cup match, worse than Nigeria against Denmark in France 98.

The referee of the match between Brazil and Croatia was simply scandalous. He awarded Brazil a dubious penalty and denied Croatia a clear potential goal. FIFA is loosing respect and its integrity is being called to question in the manner it carries out its business both on and off the field. The so called big counties should be allowed to play and win fairly and to be seen to be aided by FIFA.

Mr Alao, In as much as the light green color is something that many Eagle's fan are not used to, it is not the first time that shade of green has been used. Nike used that same shade in 2002. The success or failure of a team is not dependent on the color or design of a kit but the quality of players, tactics, commitment and hard work. Look for something meaningful to write and stop wasting our time.

Emma, You have spoken well. We are praying for you. You guys should be courageous, focused and hard working. Some trust in their skills, tactical ability and their pedigree but we trust in the LORD the creator of heaven and earth. We believe in Miracles.

Just a minor correction to this story. Liberia is currently coached by Former Lone Star Thomas Kojo as caretaker. After this qualifier, the FA announced that the Italian Roberto Landi will then take charge as the Coach assisted by Kojo. Landi is currently in Monrovia concluding his deal with the FA.

Okon is not serious..NFF has appointed a man that is not Capable of Managing Elementary Pupil to manage the Affair of a Nation Female National Team. Perpetual is 38yrs old for Crying Out Loud. Dede/Mbachu are in their Late Thirty's. This shows how Lazy Okon is as a Coach. Inviting 8 and eventually dump 8 he has unsuccessfully worked with.
MANTRA: My girls are not playing to instruction. Okon has got no instruction to offer these ladies unfortunately. Female football in Nigeria is a Joke. Crap Coaches who knows nothing about football been appointed to manage the affair of these Ladies.
